REPORTBUG.CONF(5)					     REPORTBUG.CONF(5)

NAME
       reportbug.conf - The configuration file for reportbug

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/reportbug.conf  -  The configuration file for reportbug, a program
       designed to report bugs in the Debian distribution

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page describes the layout of	 the  reportbug	 and  querybts
       configuration  file  and	 the  available	 configuration	options.   The
       default location of the file is /etc/reportbug.conf and the options may
       be  overriding  in $HOME/.reportbugrc (which follows the same format as
       reportbug.conf).

       Please note that any configuration file has to be a valid  UTF-8	 docu‐
       ment,  and not in a different locale; this is particularly important in
       situations where localized characters have to be used (like  for	 real‐
       name).

FILE FORMAT
       Configuration options can be specified in the form

       option-name option-value

       True/False (boolean) options can be specified as

       boolean-option

       (if it's present, it's a True).

       Usually, no-option will disable option if option is boolean.

       Options can be specified in any order.

OPTIONS
       The summary of possible options (in alphabetical order) is as follows:

       bts    The  bug	tracking system to use, see reportbug --help searching
